IKEA bass storage solutions/conversions. Any around?

[Sibob]

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone converted any IKEA (or similar) furniture for multiple bass storage (in or out of cases). 
Yes, we’ve all seen the nifty drawer systems from Google, but I’m looking for your real world conversions for basses.

Cheers

I use a double sliding door wardrobe that we bought from John Lewis.

 

The top shelf height in each half is perfect for standing my flight cases upright. On the left side I also keep my flight cased pedal board and 2x RH750 heads. On the right hand side I’m able to store both my 210 cabs under the shelf the basses stand on.

 

The only modification I made was to use a spare shelf as reinforcement under the bass shelf in each side supported with 4 brackets each.

The obvious Ikea-style solution is to flat-pack your basses.

 

Just saying ...

Not exactly an IKEA solution, but a furniture conversion nonetheless. Take one old wardrobe, remove everything except the top shelf, install Warwick guitar rack, and now my basses have nice safe dust- and sunlight-proof storage. Miscellaneous bits live on the shelf (batteries, tuner, books, etc etc etc), and straps/ leads/ stage clothes/ whatever hang inside the doors. The wardrobe itself is a bit cheap and nasty, so at some point I'm going to source another nicer/more contemporary one. Maybe even an IKEA one

For cased basses, Something tall enough, open fronted with removable shelves. You would need to check the depth of the unit for the cases.

It's like a gun safe for basses - like it.

Looks like solid pine... Couple of coats of primer and a lick of a funky coloured paint and you'd be "on trend' again...

 

Edit: We have an almost identical one in the wee fella's bedroom!

I bought one of these last year to try and organise my spare - as in read junk - room. Worked a treat.

 

Has  sliding doors, comes from Instrument Furniture, it`s part of their CLEO range, they delivered and assembled, pain free all round, would def recommend both the company and the product.

Pine can be a fine tone wood when used correctly.

My IKEA wardrobe conversion/adaptation.  The wardrobe carcase was given to me by a friend, I added the two shelves, the vinyl flooring on the base of the wardrobe and some additional bearers under the base.  Not the clearest photos but they show the general idea.

 

MAIN SPACE - 4 x Guitar Cases ; MarkBass CMD121P Combo ; MarkBass NY121 Cabinet ; Cases for leads and accessories ; Foldable sacktruck ; QuikLok Guitar stand ; Plus another 2 x Guitar Cases Side-By-Side in front of the other cases/Combo.

FIRST SHELF - Tools and spare parts.

TOP SHELF - Cleaning Kit ; On-going Projects.

This is what I need.... I go through cycles of wanting the bare minimum amount of kit then a new shiny thing catches my eye and I end up with seven basses, two Amps, loads of cabs.... Just to go through it all over again.
